Yeah, this decision by the FTC really sucks ... but what matters more is what Congress ends up doing. Right now things are still up in the air somewhat, though they don't look good. Even if a bill gets signed into law on one side or the other of this issue, such a law will almost certainly be challenged in the courts, and probably go all the way to the Supreme Court. I see a long, drawn-out fight over this.

She looks better at cnn...I really never dated a neo-liberal girl, they dont like me... And I guess I could do it, just no talks after dinner... My girl is center-left, btw (me too, but sometimes full left, if I watch the news to much )

EDIT: no, I saw a recent photo, she looks exactly like that...a true snapshot of a neo-liberal soul

Yeah, this is bad news, but that doesn't surprise me any more. And it would probably have some negative impact globally, both because of the amount of traffic from the US, and because of the many sites hosted in the US. Just thinking of free software ... how many projects can afford to pay bribe telecoms to provide fair bandwidth, on top of what they're already paying?

Oddly enough, I've found some articles about Microsoft (!!!) pushing for net neutrality.
